[0067] Preparation of MICR Toner Particles According to Examples herein
example 1
[0068] Example 1A - Preparation of Precursor Particles
[0069] About 57% cross-linked polyester resin (propoxylated bisphenol A fumarate resin, Resapol from Reichold), about 20% magnetite such as B353 Magnox, about 5.2% polyethylene wax such as PW2000, About 4.7% polypropylene wax such as Viscol 660P, about 4.7% compatibilizer such as Lotader AX-8840 and about 2.8% colorant (eg R330 carbon black) are melt mixed and extruded in a ZSK-25 extruder. The cross-linked resin was prepared according to the method outlined in US Patent No. 6,359,105.
[0070] The resulting extrudates of linear and cross-linked resin were pulverized in a 200AFG fluid bed jet mill. During the pulverization process, about 0.3% of TS530 silica was added as a glidant. The parent particles had a median particle size of about 9 microns, an average size of about 9.5 μm after removal of excess fines content, ie, had a fines percentage of less than 5 μm or no greater than 15% by number as measured by Multisi...

[0072] Example 1B - Blending of Surface Additives with Parent Particles
[0073] The precursor particles obtained above were mixed in a 75L Henschel vertical mixer at a specific power level of about 228 W / lb and provided a total specific energy of 15.2 Wh / lb. Power and energy levels are set with impeller speed and blending time. The additive formulations selected based on the additive levels are as follows:
[0074] additive additive% NA50HS(Silica) 3.99% SMT5103 (Titanium Dioxide) 0.87% ZnSt-L 0.50%
[0075] This formulation resulted in a total surface area coverage of the particles from the surface additive of about 175%, and a surface area coverage of about 10.2 for NA50HS silica to SMT5103 titania. 0.5% zinc stearate was also added as a lubricant.
